Help me give my students the Aquaponics Test Kit and Aquaponics Test Kit refill to ensure that the aquaponic portion of our gardening experiment can survive to test the results of our 3 gardens.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students are the same students I taught in the 21-22 school year. I know that they work their best and are particularly engaged when provided with relevant and exciting hands-on activities. There is a noticeable gap in their learning due to the virtual learning environment of the previous school years and by engaging them in experiments that tie to our community (we are a very agriculture-centered community: lettuce growing capital of the world!) and can create a fun and competitive classroom environment, I am hoping to engage them in the science of gardening while also helping them work on their math and writing skills all during their time in my science classroom. The testing kit and refills will help them conduct the scientific tests to identify if the all of the grow environments (fish and plant) are ideal for the aquaponic system to thrive. If the environments are off, they will need to use their math skills to identify how much of the correcting agents need to be added for the system to return to homeostasis.
Having students work on components of engaging science experiments that they will actually be able to see (and taste) the results of their hard work would be an opportunity that could positively change their view of science and education.
The opportunity to incorporate math and writing with science experiments utilizing the components of this wish list would be one too good to keep from these students. Your generosity could change the lives of these students and help create the next generation of scholars!
Thank you in advance for your contribution to what I am sure will be the most engaging year of their education
